     I just wanna be more,
    More than a grain upon the shore.
    More than a lost cause,
    More than what I am; what I was

    I just wanna be more,
    More than a speck on the floor.
    More than soft spoken,
    More than just broken.

    I just wanna be more,
    More than a chore
    More than just a face
    More than a waste

    I just wanna be more,
    More than the girl next door.
    More than I am,
    More than just a sham

    I just wanna feel
    Feel more than is real.
    Feel more than I conceal
    Feel more than my Achilles' heel

    I just wanna live and hope
    Hope and feel more than cope
    Hope and let go of the ropes
    Hope and belive in life's eternal slopes

    I just want to be more
    More than a sore
    More than the lies I swore
    More than ever before

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
